How to select the best tooth pitch: M42 grades are available in constant tooth pitches and vari-tooth pitches. Constant pitch is used in applications where the cross sectional size of the material is consistent. Vari-pitch is used for a wider range of cross sectional sizes and reduces noise and vibration.

Application: M42 blades are used for faster or higher volume production cutting of solid sections and exotic or tool steels. Available in widths from 6mm to 54mm.

Blade material characteristics: Constructed from a high speed steel strip electron beam welded to a high strength spring steel alloy backing material. Teeth are milled into the HSS strip resulting in a long life, fatigue resistant blade with HSS tooth tips. The resistance to heat, abrasion and vibration allows faster cutting rates over a wide range of materials.
